Most employers worry about high staff turnover, but Amazon has been positively encouraging it. For a number of years it has had a policy called “The Offer”: each year after the peak Christmas period, warehouse staff are offered a few thousand pounds to quit (the precise sum varies depending on tenure and other things) on the condition they will never be allowed to work for Amazon again.
Her ears in the little space helmet getting all folded up! Smooosh
…cosmonaut and pride of the Lapine. she rides an experimental rocket to seek the other colonies established hundreds of years in the past by an almost forgotten generation ship…

Karen Barad’s agential realism?
the primary ontological units are not "things" but phenomena - dynamic topological reconfigurings/entanglements/relationalities/(re)articulations of the world. And the primary semantic units are not "words" but material-discursive practices through which (ontic and semantic) boundaries are constituted. This dynamism is agency. Agency is not an attribute but the ongoing reconfigurings ofthe world. The universe is agential intra-activity in its becoming. - Meeting the Universe Halfway
I’m struggling with it! The parts I’m familiar with (undergrad physics, contemporary scientific funding) are deployed… unartfully? But to ends (agental realism , and a theory of scientific ethics that’s very freeing) that I find comforting, so
Exceptional quotes throughout as well; this experimental apparatus familiar to anyone with ug physics has been modified with the critical element - a sulphurous cheap cigar that “developed” the silver ions like a photo, by accident! THe results relevance to understanding of physics is acausal; we have a understanding now where that this is the discovery of electron spin, but this is the result of many iterations of the measurement and reaction and discursive practice loop
Also, brain is computer is silly. Are there any ways they could be substituted for each other? As that’s the only definition given to X is Y in CS; given a apparatus is it possible to distinguish a X or Y; if no, same thing relative to the apparatus (+discursive practice in which apparatus is embedded)
"the brain is a computer that receives, interprets, and predicts "sense data" (whatever that is) and then calculates appropriate thoughts, actions, and responses" 🙄🙄🙄
yeah and a river is a computer that receives and interprets "indirect upstream data", manipulates that data using whorls and eddies, and then calculates the appropriate outgoing flow pattern.
your nutsack and cock are a cOmPuTeR that receive and interpret what i like to call "indirect mastubation data", and manipulates that data to calculate and return the appropriate "cum response".
the brain is only a computer in so far as any physical system is a computer. and it's a fucking stupid compsci major ass way of looking at the world that makes very little sense

Thing is about the terfs sending me anons wishing violence upon me, is if I respond with any kind of anger, it'll suddenly be evidence of "male behaviours" and "male socialisation"
